Particulars of the Blot at Corning, Ohio. incinnati, Bept SO. A special despatch from Columbus to the Gazette says: "De spatches received from Corning state that the miners undertook to come within the lines established by the Ewing Guards and were ordered to halt.

They responded with a volley of musketry, and the fire was returned and kept up for Ave minutes. Colonel W. C. Lamert, in a despatch received late last night, says the striking miners divided their forces into three parties and simultaneously attacked tbe troops and the Corning miners on the two ridges extending along tbe north and south side of what is known as Mine No. 3.

He says their column on the north side was fully two hundred strong and well armed. They were halted by the troops when the firing began, as above stated. The miners then opened fire from both ridges, but scattered and fled precipitately after the troops had fired a few rounds. They made an effort afterward to organize and make another onslaught, but did not succeed. The striking miners are said to be returning to their homes at Straitville and Bbawnee.

The number of them engaged in the attack on the troops is said to have been five hundred. No further disturbance is anticipated. All Quiet at Corning. Columbus, Ohio, Bept SO. A report was current that eight hundred miners were in consultation to day at Corning, but nothing of moment has resulted therefrom.

Private and official despatches received to night corroborate this statement. It is thougbt most miners belonging in Hocking Valley now at Corning will return to their homes and relume work to morrow. The present indications are that there will be no further serious trouble at Corning as long as the troops remain there. eiass Blowers' Strike Vnded.

More than half the horses in Boston and its suburbs are suffering, to a greater or less degree, from a distemper re eembling a mild form of the eplzooty of 1872. The malady has, within two or three days, become widepread, and, in the opinion of veterinary surgeons, in a few hours there will scarcely be an animal in the city unaffected; but there appears to be no cause for alarm, for only a small portion of the animals at tacked are rendered incapable ot work, and fewer yet are in danger of losing their lives. Tbe affection appears to be a form of equine Influenza, and is attributed to the extreme weather changes of the put two or three weeks. Arreit of Paymaster Kelson. Washington, Bept.

SO. A despatch from Fort Leavenworth, was reset ved by Pay master Brown to-day, stating that Paymaster Nelson, who is short in his accounts, was ar rested in Kansas City yesterday, and taken on a train bound for New York last evening. Ho will be tried by court martial In New York: upon his arrival. It is not thought by tho Paymaster-General that he was attempting to escape. Although the exact amount that Nelson Is short in his accounts cannot be ascer tained at present it is estimated to be between $8000 and $10,000.

Major Nelson was appointed paymaster in the volunteer service by President Lincoln in 1864, and at that time was a resident of Michigan. After the reor ganization of the army at the close of the war he and several other paymasters, whose ability and integrity had been proved, were retained, ranking as majors in the regular army. At the present time he stands number sixteen on -the list of majors. Since entering the service he has had under his control $100,000 and $200,000 at a time. His wife is a native of California, and is related to some of the most eminent and wealthy families of that State.

Mejor Nelson's bondsmen are also residents of the Pacifio coast Moonshiners In Virginia. In transmitting his report to the Internal Revenue Bureau in regard to the recent attack on a revenue posse near Floyd Court House, mentioned in Saturday's despatches, Collector Rives asked tbat carbines and men be furnished him to carry out the war against the Illicit distillers in that section. He said tbat they 'were a lawless and determined class, but believed, with a well armed force, they could be broken up. Commissioner Rautn has considered this report, and will furnish Collector Rives as many guns as shall be necessary and give him authority to employ men sufficient to carry out his plans. The District Bonds.

Claims were reoently made by certain hold ers ot Board of Audit certificates of the District of Columbia tbat they were entitled to receive six per cent interest on the certificates from tbe date of issue np to the date upon which they were converted into 3 65 bonds of the District of Columbia. Treasurer Gilfillan, however, decided to give the holders of tho certificates 3 65 bonds bearing interest from the date of issuance of tbe Board of Audit cer tificates, but to allow no interest on tbe certifi cates. An appeal was made from tbls decision and the question was referred to the First Controller of the Treasury. An elaborate opinion has just been completed by Judge Lawrence, in which the decision of Treasurer Gilfillan is sustained. Naval Review.

The success attending the naval review at Hampton Roads last year, and the great inter est attaching to it, has induced the Secretary of the wavy to repeat it this year upon a ttiu more liberal scale, aot only tbe training ships Constitution, Portsmouth, Saratoga and Minnesota, but sill the other war vessels constituting tbe borne squadron, the Tennessee, Kear- sarge, vanaana. Alliance ana rampoosa (tne latter being especially for the use of the Secretary) will take part in tbe naval maneuvers. The review will take place about the 15th of October, or soon after tbe return of Secretary Thompson from Indiana. The reports from the several training ships are of the most flattering character, and abundantly insure tbe success of creating a corps of seamen who shall be representative American seamen. Secre tary Thompson expects soon to add still another vessel to the four already la this ser vice.

TEZEQBAM FROM SENATOR BLAISE XO CHAIRMAN JEWELL, Answer to Barnum'a Cry of Fraud Tbe Only Opportunity for Cheating in Aroostook, a Democratic County. Boston, Bept 20. Senator Blaine, who is in this city, sent the following telegram to Hon.

Marshall Jewell to day: "Boston, Sept SO. To Hon. Marshall Jewell, chairman Republican National Committee: I left Maine ou Friday last. Intelligence reaches me here to-day, indicating that the telegraphic report of votes as published by the Associated Press is in some cases modified by the clerks' returns as they reached tbe office of the Secretary of State, where they are open to the inspectioa of the public These modifications are of such a character as co render the contest between Davis and Piaisted extremely close, possibly requiring the official returns to determine which is elected. Official returns cannot be counted or even opened until tbe meeting of tbe Legislature in January.

"Tbe cry of fraud in the count as put forth by Mr. Chairman Barnum is sufficiently answered by the fact that both parties in Maine have recourse to precisely the same authority for their figures first, the telegrams of the Associated rress, and, second, tbe clerks' returns from tbe several towns. The agent of the Associated Press at Portland, Mr. Stephen Berry, is implicitly trusted by all parties, and is incapable of wilfull misrtatement or evasion. His expe rience in summarizing election returns is as long and as varied as that of any man in tbe country.

Up to this hour there is not a particle of dispute between tbe parties in Maine touching tbe returns from a single town. The only possible opportunity for frauds in election returns under our laws is in tbe French plantations ot Aroostook, where the assessors sign a return expressed in a language with which tbey are entirely uuacquainted. The Democratic English-speaking agent, who makes out returns has abundant opportunity for misstating the facts. "1 do not assert that the returns from those plantations are fraudulent, for I do not kno it, but 1 do assert and 1 do Know that frauas have been committed there in past years by Democratic agents, and I repeat that nowhere else in Maine is fraud practicable. Ine fraud of last year was not in the returns at all, but consisted wholly in Governor Garcelon and his council rejecting returns that were honestly and regularly made.

Mr. Chairman Barnum is also in palpable error when be assumes that all election returns should be at Augusta the day after election. "He forgets that Maine is larger in territory than tbe other five New England States together, and that the soutbwesternmost town in Maine is nearer to any point in the State of Delaware nearer, indeed, to the city ot Baltimore than it Is to the French planta tions on tne upper bt. jotin Dy any practical route. In this statement I speak of actual distance.

In point of time the comparison would be still more striking and significant, for a man can go from Augusta to Chicago as quickly as he can go from Augusta to Fort "The talk of Barnum about the Fasionists of Maize being counted out mere rant. There is not a Democrat or Green backer in Maine who has the slightest fear of such a result. "The late Governor Clifford, of Massachu setts, used to boast that the Whig party was tbe only only one then in existence that would count Itself out of power and surrender to its opponents on an adverse majority of one vote alluding to the case of Marcus Morton as Governor. "The Republicans of Maine, when beaten in 1878, could have retained power on two or three technical points in the count Those who planned tbe Garcelon countout of a year later expected the Republicans to do it, and suggested a fear of it, out there was not a single member of tbe party that ever harbored such a thought If General Piaisted shall have a single vote more than Governor Davis the Executive chair of Maine for the next two years is as well assured to him as though his majority were ten thousand. "James G.

Blaine." Governor Davis Confident of Success. Boston, Bept. SO. Governor Davis, of Maine, telegraphs here from Augusta the following: "I shall be elected by 800 or 400 plurality, without a doubt" A Democratic Estimate. New York, Sept SO.

A despatch was received at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee to night from Fort Kent, Maine, giving Piaisted 160 majority, making his majority in 497 towns 174. Five towns still to be heard from gave in 1876, Talbot, 62; Conner, 27. The Greenbackers and Marshall Jewell. New York, Sept SO. George 0.

Jones, chairman of the State Committee ot the Greenback-Labor party, publishes a card emphati cally denying the consultation with Marshall Jewell, Imputed to him and three fellow-members of his party by certain newspaper correspondents. He says: "I cannot understand how such unwarranted statements could be made, unless their authors intend to utter malicious falsehoods for partisan purposes. The only information I have regarding matters in Maine was obtained through conversation with General Weaver since his return from tbat State, in all of which he spoke ot General Piaisted and four of the candidates for Congress as being reliable members 6T our party, and, as such, expressed his sincere desire for their election, while he opposed now, as he has throughout the entire campaign, any fusion on our national ticket, or permitting anything to be done calculated to interfere with the integ rity of our party as a distinct national organl-tion. Congressional Dominations. Harrisburg, Bept 20.

The Republican conference ot the Fourteenth Congressional district this afternoon nominated Samuel F. Barr tor Congress. The nomination was first tendered General Simon Cameron, but he peremptorily refused. On proceeding to ballot Dauphin county voted for Samuel F. Barr; Northumberland for A.

ANOTHER DIFFICULTY IN MONTE NEGRIN NEGOTIATIONS. Inadmissible Demand by the Saltan Plain Talk by Minister Goecben TheEag-' Ush Dynamite Plot Aimed at the Paris, Bept. SO. At the Cabinet Council on Saturday last to consider the resignation! of MM. Constans, Cazot and Farre, Premier De Freycinet said if the only difficulty was the embarrassment in which the suspension of th decrees placed II.

Constant, because the latte had already issued instruction! to the prefect i which would now have to be countermanded, that could be smoothed over by II. Constant submitting to the Cabinet a list of the religious establishments he proposed to close without awaiting the decision of the Tribunal of Conflicts, and the Cabinet could discuss and decide on each proposal, as some of the congregations such as the Pasaionists, for instance are not recognized by the Vatican, and the decrees might be enforced against them without difficulty. M. Constans accepted this proposal, and the resignations were withdrawn. An hour later, Premier de Freycinet learned that a note, emanating from the Ministry of the Interior, had been sent through the Haras Agency, stating tb at Premier Freycinet had capitulated, leaving M.

Constans free to decide upon an opportune enforcement of the decree. Premier de Freycinet demanded that a denial of this be published in the Journal Official. M. Constans and M. Cazot objected.

Pre mier de Freycinet then informed President Grevy that his (the Premier's) resignation ould be the easiest way of solving the crisis. This difference with M. Constans was the ostensible reason of II. de Freycinet's resignation. The real reason evidently was that if.

Freycinet had no choice between submission and resignation. M. Oambetta returned to Paris Friday even ing, He and M. Constans had a long Inter view immediately. The universal opinion is that M.

Constans has been acting under M. Oambetta's advice, and that U. de Freycinet's Montaban speech was the bediming of a conflict between him and II. Gambetta, which has no chance of compromise, but must result In II. de Freycinet's surrender or resignation, unless he proved stronger than M.

Gambetta. The letter's friends express the belief that M. de Freycinet wishes to be elected a life Senator, and then aspire to the leadership of the antlGambettlat section of the Republicans. M. Challemel-Dacour, the Marquis De Noailles and Admiral Jaures are mentioned for Foreign Minister, and M.

Carnot for Minister of Public Works. Tbe Ministry of Marine will probably be held provisionally by some other member of the Cabinet. Today'! official journal publishes a letter from President Grevy to M. de Freycinet, In which tbe writer says: "I regret that yon have persisted in your determination to resign, and shall not forget the services jou have rendered to the government. You will always retain my warm esteem." Thiers Statue.

Tbe statue of M. Thiers was unveiled on Sunday at St. Germain, in the presence of a large crowd. M. Jules Simon delivered the At the conclusion of M.

Jules Simon's speech II. Olivier Pain, who was standing on the official tribune, and close to Mme. Thiers, got up on the bench, and in clear, deliberate tones exclaimed: "In the name of thirty -Ave thousand who were shot In May I protest against tbe erection of this statue." M. Pain was instantly hustled away by Indignant spectators, amid loud cries of "Down with the Prussian and "To Prussia with him 1" Mme. Thiers remained perfectly tranquil during this scene, though several times previously during the ceremony she had been moved to tears.

Hot a foreign Question. Paris, Bept. SO. The Republique Fran eaise, commenting on the letter to President Grevy in which M. De Freycinet tendered his resignation, declare! that questions of foreign policy have not caused any discussion in the numerous councils recently held.

None of M. De Freycinet's colleagues suggested any departure from a pacific, prudent and reserved policy. The differences In the Cabinet were wholly confined to the question of the enforcement of the religious decrees. Gambetta to Deliver a Pacific Speech, London, Sept. SI.

Though the detectives engaged on the inquiry into the dynamite plot In connection with the London and Northwestern railway have discovered nothing, It seems probable that it was intended for the Czare-witch. He was to have left Euston by the morning train for Scotland to visit the Llvadia, but altered his route at the last moment, going via the Great Northern. The Echo this afternoon hints that important results are expected from the researches made. It is probable that the researches are conducted on the theory that the plot was for the destruction of the Czarewltch. There is no reason whatever to suppose that the Irish party is implicated In it.

The plot was discovered on the morning of the 13th Inst, when a package containing four pounds of dynamite was found under a rail on Election in Magdeburg. London, Sept SI. A despatch to the Times from Berlin says: "In the election at Magdeburg for the Prussian Parliament Herr Lasker, National Libera), was defeated by Herr Liste-mann.

Secretary Bohurz, who has returned to Washington from his extended tour through the Indian country, visited, on his trip, seven of the principal agenaies and reservations in the West and Northwest including, among others. Fort Hall, Fort Lembl, the Crow reservation, on the northern boundary of the Yellowstone Park, and Fort Keogh, the agency for the Sioux reservation. He also met and conversed with a number of delegations from different Indian tribes, whose reservations were not on the line of the route pursued by the Becretary. As a result of his trip the Secretary has, by observation and by contact with tbe head men of a large number of different tribes, scattered over a large area of country, added considerably to his previous knowledge of the condition of the Indians, their needs, their progress in agricultural pursuits, and their capabilities for further advancement toward civilisation. In regard to their progress in agriculture the Secretary spoke very hopefully.

In this particular he found the situation all that could be hoped for. His expectations, based on report! received from the agents from time to time during tbe last year, were fully realized, The Indians at a number of points in the Northwest are very industrious, and have a great deal of land under a fair state of culti vation. At some points In the Sioux Reserve' tion, where they raise considerable wheat, the Becretary was somewhat surprised at the One condition of their wheat crops and the thorough manner in which they cultivate tbe soil, and says it compares very favorably with that oi tne wnites lurtner The Secretary feels very much enoouraged with the progress already made the result mainly of tbe efforts of the department during the last few years In making farmers of the Indians. Tbe work, however, would be materially promoted, he says, by the passage of laws authorizing the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians. GROSS CARELESSNESS.
